Oregon State vs University of Oregon

After going to a local bakery for a football themed cake for the upcoming Oregon State vs. University of Oregon game, a friend discovered it would cost $100 because of the holidays. Not wanting to pay them that amount he asked if I could work something out. For the amount of people, we decided on cookies. I made my popular ones with a bit more color!

 

University of Oregon Shortbread Swirl

Some of the shortbread had sprinkles, some had colored sugar.

 

 

Found these football trays. Perfect for the theme! Sadly, my colors were not as vibrant as I had hoped.

Go Ducks!

Go Beavers!

Teeanage Mutant Ninja Turtles

After seeing some of the just-for-fun cakes I've done for friends, I was asked if I could make this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake based off of  http://deliciouslydarlingevents.com/blog/ . I really wasn't sure if I could pull it off! Never had done a smash or petal cake nor had I really done much with fondant figures. But I was their last hope! 



 

Fondant heads almost done

I began by making the fondant cake top a week or so in advance to allow time for it to harden enough to stand on the cake. 

 

 Fondant manhole cover. Sprayed with edible silver spray. I didn't like the flat plain look of it so I rubbed it with brown gel dye and a damp paper towel to give it a dirty look.

The finished turtle topper. Ready to go into the box for transporting.

 

I hadn't done this type of frosting before. After some trial and error I had it down.. I think! There are some things I will change when I use this technique again in the future. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of it.

All the messy layers.

Not wanting a lot of Fondant, I frosted the entire cake white.



Fondant sign, letters, and balls.

It's so happy!

That first Slice... Hack job. I only had a plastic knife!

Cake is almost bigger than the birthday boy!
